At what point does Microsoft become a Monopoly in the gaming sector?
3 comments

Is it even close? 4 of my 174 Steam games have Microsoft's name on it, and if they bought Activision.. it'd still be 4.
Activision Blizzard doesn’t put most of their games on Steam
It's neither #1 in the console business nor does it have the most popular PC storefront.

So it's a long way away.

It probably isn't even #2 in console business either.
Financially speaking, you can't become a monopoly in the gaming sector if you don't have mobile (as in, iOS/Android mobile, not portable consoles) division. So it's a long way to go.
